What really sets the Steam Controller (and the Steam Deck’s control layout) apart from the market are the dual touchpads and dynamically/easily programmable buttons. The above just looks like a reskinned XBox controller, and, if I read the article right, it needs a “companion app” to get full functionality out of the controller.

I hope that they at least made sure that the companion app works on the Steam Deck.

Could be worse, could be XBox. shudders

I guess that’s one way to announce End Of Service.

Haven’t tried it, but it does look interesting and worth checking out.

I have been playing around with dietpi lately, and while it feels weird to relinquish control, it does make a lot of things much more easier and faster to setup and maintain. Or at least until you need more specific setups. :P

All in all? I don’t like it. Looks like a template taken from Soulless MoneyGrab Inc. but with some added steam elements.

Change and innovation is not bad, but while perhaps not especially beautifully, the current user interface is pretty decent in the storm that is nowadays “looks over function”-mentality.

Edit: but as others have said, it would be nice if there was some kind of theme selector so people can make their own choices, or just fine tune Big Picture mode as it already follows a more simplified and stylished theme.

OP might be talking about the steam link app, and not the steam link. But yes, the post is confusing.
